Explosion Proof Thermal IP Cameras with Radiometric Functions

Videotec Maximus MVXT stainless steel explosion-proof IP thermal cameras with radiometric functions.

Videotec's new IP thermal cameras offer temperature detection based on 4 central pixels of the image. The advanced version allows the temperature of an object to be measured at any point by means of defining a specific area within the image.

In addition, radiometric functions offer optional temperature limit settings which activates an alarm when temperatures exceed a setting.

These features are well suited for hazardous location applications, like flare stack monitoring or temperature monitoring of critical systems. Flare systems require pilot flame confirmation for safe operation insuring there is an ignition source for expelled gases. The MVXT series camera creates an alarm in the event of a loss of pilot flame.

Machinery that must be shut down for repairs results in significant losses to production and leaks in equipment may pose safety threats to employees. The MVXT series camera detects overheated machinery, belts, and pulleys, and thermal leaks to alert operations managers to potential issues and increase operational uptime.

DWG Press Release - DWG takes ownership of Nuvico trademark brand rights - new products to follow. - January 1st 2017

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

DWG takes ownership of Nuvico trademark brand rights

Long Island, NY (January 1st, 2017) DWG (www.dwgdistribution.com) has recently closed a deal to purchase the rights to the Nuvico trademark and brand related assets. Throughout the years the Nuvico brand has become known as a value proposition for security integrators through the United States and global markets. With a clear focus on quality manufacturing, while remaining price competitive, Nuvico products can be found in a variety of markets from airports, retail, residential, education, government, and more. DWG plans to release brand new product lines in the coming months, and will be offering an upgrade path for existing Nuvico product users that may have felt stranded by the closing of the Nuvico corporation by its original owners.

“In a rapidly changing landscape, DWG can better deliver Nuvico branded products to its loyal dealer and commercial customer base.” said DWG CEO Sal Visone.

DWG has successfully restored Nuvico DDNS service and will continue to host this free to ensure that existing Nuvico DVRs and NVRs are able to function even though many of these units were purchased through legacy distribution sales channels.
 

“Our plans will include an integrator direct business model with a clear focus on protecting the business interests of our dealers. ” said Sal. “With the over distribution and commoditization of some of the leading brands currently available, we believe that our customers will find great value in our approach. Our direct ownership and control of all aspects of the Nuvico brand will allow us to ensure its long term success. Nuvico will hold an important place in the overall linecard of DWG, however will not affect the overall offerings of other leading brands continuously specified by DWG sales and support staff.”

Burglar alarm owners must register with Suffolk County or face hefty fines for false alarms

Source : Greater Patchogue

Suffolk County officials are urging all residential homeowners and commercial establishments to register their burglar alarms with the county or face hefty fines — even for first-time false alarms.
Registering an alarm costs $100 for businesses and $50 for homeowners.

The new Suffolk County law went into effect last month and comes in response to the 97,000 false alarms police officers responded to in 2015, which amounted to some 32,000 in wasted patrol hours, officials said.

Registered alarm owners will get two free passes for false alarms per year, after which the fees will be $100 for each residential false alarm and $250 for each false alarm at a non-residential building, including nonprofit organizations such as churches.

Non-registered alarm owners will have to pay fees for any false alarm.

A false alarm is defined in the legislation, which appears below, as an alarm signal that results in a police response for something other than an unlawful act or emergency at the home or business/organization.

The permits have to be renewed annually, and the fee for renewing a permit is 50 percent less than the initial registration fees.

The law was passed in November and went into effect June 1.

REGISTRATION

Online by clicking the ‘alarm management’ button at SuffolkPD.org.
In person at SCPD headquarters 30 Yaphank Avenue between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays, excluding holidays.
By mail by picking up an application at your local precinct or by downloading the permit form at SuffolkPD.org. Mail the completed form and fee to the AMPS Office at 30 Yaphank Ave, Yaphank, NY 11980

NOW AVAILABLE! Cash Register to video interface for HD-TVI,AHD, & HD-CVI

New Cash Register to video interface from AVE for HD-TVI, AHD, & HD-CVI

As long as there have been employees, there has been employee theft!

Roughly 1 out of 3 employees will steal every chance they get. Another 1 out of 3 will steal at least once. The problem for a business owner is that they cannot tell which employee steals and which one is honest by looking at the surveillance video.

Since 1988, American Video Equipment (AVE) has been supplying the security industry with the VSI-Pro Cash Register to video interface. The 1^st generation VSIPro was for CVBS or composite video.  The VSIPro is solution for restaurants, convenience stores, gas stations, general retail, newsstands, bars, and any other place that has a cash register.

The VSIPro works by superimposing the transaction information on the video so that there is no doubt as to what the cashier is doing. Without a VSIPro there is no way to tell if the cashier is stealing or not!

The AVE VSIPro is currently in use by Fast Food Restaurants like McDonalds, Burger King, Dairy Queen, Subway, Quiznos, Auntie Anne’s, and more. Gas Station/Convenience store chains like Exxon, Chevron, Valero, Unocal 76, Arco-AM/PM, Sunoco, 7-11 and many more.

Other business types that utilize the AVE VSIPro include: Grocery Stores, Casinos, Banks (money counters) Thrift shops, Hair Salons, Bars, Restaurants, Golf Pro Shops, Gift Shops, General Retail, snack bars, rental car companies, Sporting Goods Stores, Bait and Tackle shops and more.

In May of this year we released the 1^st ever cash register to video interface compatible with HD-TVI, HD-CVI, AHD, & CBVS . The all new VSIPro-HD is compatible with hundreds of different cash registers and POS systems.

The VSIPro-HD will pay for itself in a matter of weeks in most cases by helping a business owner identify dishonest employees quickly.
